Patent EP-1462778-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LEONHARD THORSTEN
IPC: G01H3/08
Filed: 2004-03-26
Abstract: The method involves recording a noise signal p(k), 0=k=K over a period K, and determining short-term frequency spectra P(n,I) for the entire signal, each spectrum describing the proportion of frequencies n in a time window of width N,L at a time point 0=kI K, 0=I=L. The modulation frequency spectra Pm(n,m) are determined at the short-term frequency spectra, each describing the proportion of modulation frequencies m on the carrier signal IP(n,I), 0=I=L, which is formed by the proportions of the frequencies n in all short-term frequency spectra. A modulation index Pmi(n,m) is calculated from the modulation frequency spectra, and a noise index is calculated from the modulation index values. An independent claim is included for an apparatus for quantitive analysis of noise.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the discovery of network devices
capable of handling multiplexed packet data flows. According to the
present invention, multiplexing routers included in a path along which
communication resources are reserved insert an object into the RSVP RESV
message, to provide operating parameters to an originating multiplexing
router. Using the operating parameters provided by multiplexing routers
along the path, the originating multiplexing router can identify a
multiplexing router proximate to a receiving communication device or
devices. The originating multiplexing router can then create super
packets addressed to the receiving multiplexing router proximate to the
receiving communication device or devices that contains multiple data
packets. The router to which the super packet is addressed can then
deaggregate the super packet, and deliver the data packets to the
receiving communication device or devices.
